Lot no. 8
Gil de Siloé (Antwerp, Belgium, 1450 - Burgos, 1501)
"Madonna and Child"
Carved, gilded and polychromed wooden sculpture. Gothic. Late 15th century.
110 x 31 x 23 cm.
Our image bears a great resemblance to the sculpture of the Madonna and Child with Saint Anne made by Gil de Siloé, from the altarpiece of Saint Anne in the Capilla de los Condestables in Burgos Cathedral. The similarities with the model used for the Virgin Mary as a Child can be seen without a doubt in the features of the eyes, the long, thin nose and the mouth, even in the gesture of the mouth and the drawing of the lips. Regarding the treatment of the hair, the headdress is in the form of a diadem, rich in gold work. In the clothing, this image is comparable to the Saint Catherine, which is also found in the aforementioned altarpiece of Saint Anne dated around 1500. A third comparative example is the Saint Barbara located on the far-right pillar of the altarpiece at the Cartuja de Miraflores in Burgos.
